1. Microfluidic flow splitter shape optimization for high throughput
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknikAbstract : Due to an increasing incidence rate, the need for new effective methods for diagnosing cancer are of high importance. Studies have shown that circulating tumor cells, CTCs, have great potential as a diagnostic biomarker. Acoustophoresis is a label free method, capable of separating CTCs from red blood cells in a blood sample. READ MORE

2. Robust and Biocompatible Bonding of Hybrid Microfluidic Devices Using Off-Stoichiometric Thiol-ene Thermosets
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Some of the major obstacles the microfluidics industry has yet to overcome in order to facilitate large scale manufacturing of devices are costly back-end processes. Among these, bonding presents some of the most obvious difficulties and is often associated with structural deformation and surface modification. READ MORE

3. Microbial ecosystem analysis of biochar-enriched soil in Kenya using microfluidic soil models
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknikAbstract : Healthy soil is rich in diverse microbial life, and a healthy microbial ecosystem is crucial for any well-functioning agriculture. Soil microbes are essential for organic decomposition and nutrient recycling in the soil, which make nutrients available for agricultural crops. READ MORE

4. Design improvements for an Organ-on-chip system : Implementation and evaluation of a bubble trap
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskapAbstract : The field of organ-on-chip is a relatively new area of research and builds upon the principle of engineering microfluidic systems to mimic the body’s internal environment as precisely as possible. Eventually these models could hopefully simulate whole organ-systems and enable the examination of the cell’s or organ’s reaction to foreign substances like new pharmaceuticals in a better way than current models.

5. Commissioning of a FPGA/DSP unit for Centralized Control of a Variable Phase Pole Multiphase Machine
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Multiphase Electrical Machines (MPEMs) with variable phase-pole configurations have recently gained interest as it offers advantages such as a larger operating range and improved fault tolerance compared to more traditional MPEMs. The current state-of-the-art modeling and control method, Vector Space Decomposition (VSD), has the drawback of introducing discontinuities in the model when transitioning from one phase-pole configuration to another.
